Bangladesh Economy

[BananaRepublic]

Record profits and they have designed and built their own 4K panel.

They are doing well and just need to keep focused on overseas expansion now as they are dominating the home BD market.

That’s one of the best things to come out of the last decade.

Giving Walton the oxygen to grow.

Country the size of BD - only really needs 2-3 Waltons to reach middle income.

Let’s see if BD can add at least one more this decade?

UKB dada/Kola bhai,

Both IND and BD need to substantially increase investment in human capital- quality education and healthcare. But more than just throw more money what is needed is a quality audit of spends.

BD cannot have high growth unless it engages both the elephant and the dragon.

Projected to be the first and third largest economies in the world.

The dragon also tends to drag its feet unless it has competition from the elephant.

The minus elephant formula was a disaster in the past and a disaster in the making now.

Elephant+ formula gets you 6-7% growth.

Elephant- formula gets you 3-4% growth.

Data driven decision making is what we need.

Nice to see you back, bro!

BD inflation is stuck high whilst rest of world plummets.

Maybe send some onions over the border?!!

Kola bhai,

True. BD needs to do business with all important economies of the world- be it USA, EU, PRC and IND. Under the visionary leadership of Bangabandhobi, BD had realised that and was working accordingly. The sad incidents lately have put a brake on the process. Lets hope the new BD govt too comes to the same realisation and BD goes back to the high growth path.

I cannot see anyone of the current motley crew able to keep both the elephant and dragon on side.

It’s very similar to the U.K. / EU relationship under Tories. Tories pissed off the EU - in return the EU made UK’s life hell. Ultimately, Tories got humiliated and EU is prevailing.

Hence its a return to the martial law rate of growth.

And inflation will stay at least a couple of percentage above the global average.

Bangladesh will come to its senses eventually but it will suffer a lot of pain in the meantime.

Was inevitable!

Garments sector will be massively hit. Looks like lot of stuff is going to go back to Pakistan whereas it was the opposite in the last 13 years.

We are being over dramatic here.

BD garment sector is again firing on all cylinders and factories are working overtime to clear the backlog.

It still has stable power supply and the backward linkages to be able to produce the clothes that retailers need around the world.

600MW out of generation of around 15,000MW is not really a big deal and it seems that Adani and the BD government could not come to some sort of amicable agreement.

Roopur nuclear will be fully online next year and will supply a massive 2,400MW constant and stable suppy.

IMF predicts that by 2026, BD will again be the fastest growing large economy in the world.

BD's total power generation capacity is 27791 MW.

Lot of that “generation capacity” is on expensive oil and gas. And those power stations are some of the least fuel efficient. Not to mention polluting.

Thanks god for the nuclear power station otherwise BD would be shafted.

Let’s hope the motley crew can keep the Russians on side!

Poor country like Bangladesh needs to handle geopolitics delicately.

IMF predicts things will get worse. Inflation is high whilst tumbling around the world.

That’s going to give rival countries an edge.

Hope it is ok for me to praise Hasina's foresight to build the nuclear power station when it was predicted by many here that this would be the worse decision for BD.

That was one of the best things she did for BD, among other great achievements as regards infrastructure.

Of course BD needs a 2nd nuclear power station as soon as possible and so if the BD economy turns around by 2026 as IMF predicts then another deal can be done with Russia for a 2nd Roopur for service in the early 2030s. It should cost a lot less money and time as BD companies and people now have some experience in building and running a nuclear power station.
